Why is professional AC cleaning important in Dubai homes and offices?

Dubai’s climate creates constant high humidity inside AC systems, which encourages microbial growth. Without proper cleaning, AC units can circulate contaminants throughout indoor spaces.

How is Saniservice different from standard AC cleaning companies in the UAE?

Most AC cleaners focus on visible dust. Saniservice follows a scientific indoor environmental remediation process that targets microbial sources, moisture behavior, and airflow contamination.

Is AC mould common in Dubai buildings?

Yes. Due to year-round AC use, high humidity, and sealed buildings, AC-related microbial growth is extremely common in Dubai residential and commercial properties.

Why does simple AC duct cleaning often fail to solve air quality issues?

Duct cleaning alone does not address coils, drain pans, humidity imbalance, or microbial reservoirs. Without correcting these, contamination quickly returns.

How does Saniservice assess whether an AC system is contaminated?

We begin with system inspection and risk assessment, examining moisture patterns, airflow paths, and areas prone to microbial growth rather than relying on visual assumptions.

Why is fogging not an effective AC disinfection method?

Fogging treats air temporarily but does not remove contamination from coils, drains, or surfaces where microbes grow. It masks symptoms without solving root causes.

Can bleach be used safely inside AC systems?

Bleach fails because it does not penetrate biofilms, can corrode components, and does not correct humidity conditions that allow regrowth.

How does humidity affect AC hygiene in the UAE climate?

Humidity is the primary driver of microbial growth. Without addressing moisture behavior inside the system, cleaning alone will not deliver lasting results.

What does “medical-grade AC disinfection” actually mean?

It refers to controlled cleaning and disinfection methods aligned with indoor environmental health standards, not perfumes or cosmetic sanitizers.

How does Saniservice verify that AC cleaning was effective?

Where required, we use pre- and post-intervention validation methods to confirm that contamination levels have been meaningfully reduced.

Is AC cleaning necessary even if there is no visible mould?

Yes. Microbial contamination often exists inside coils and drains long before visible signs appear, especially in Dubai’s climate.

How often should AC systems be cleaned in Dubai?

Frequency depends on usage, humidity levels, and building type, but most UAE properties require more frequent intervention than cooler climates.

Can poor AC hygiene affect health?

Contaminated AC systems can circulate microbial fragments and irritants that may worsen respiratory symptoms and indoor comfort.

Why does Saniservice sometimes clean less than other companies?

Our methodology focuses on correct intervention. We avoid unnecessary disturbance that can spread contamination or damage system components.

Is this service suitable for villas, apartments, and commercial buildings?

Yes. The same scientific principles apply across residential, commercial, and sensitive environments in the UAE.

How does Saniservice handle AC cleaning in occupied spaces?

We use controlled procedures designed to minimize disruption and prevent the spread of contaminants during cleaning.

What role does airflow play in AC contamination?

Improper airflow allows moisture and particles to settle, creating ideal conditions for microbial growth inside the system.

Can AC cleaning reduce recurring odours?

Yes, when odours are caused by microbial growth or trapped moisture, addressing the source eliminates the problem rather than masking it.

Why is source identification important before disinfection?

Disinfection without understanding the cause leads to recurrence. Our process identifies why contamination formed in the first place.

Who should consider Saniservice’s AC cleaning and disinfection service?

Clients in Dubai who prioritize verified indoor air quality, occupant health, and long-term building performance rather than superficial cleaning.

Should I worry about musty smell in living room?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain we experienced last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell lingering in our living room, even after airing out the space multiple times. It’s really starting to bother me, especially since my kids have been coughing more frequently lately. Has anyone here had similar issues and what did you do about it?

Yes, you should definitely be concerned about the musty smell in your living room. A persistent odor like that can indicate moisture issues and potential mold growth, which is a serious matter especially in our UAE climate. Given the heavy rain we experienced recently, it's not unusual for such odors to arise, but they shouldn't be ignored.

First off, it’s important to understand that mold thrives in humid conditions, and given Dubai's climate, this can be a significant concern. The musty smell could mean there are unseen water issues within your home, possibly hidden behind walls or under carpets. Mold not only affects air quality but also poses health risks, especially for children who might be more susceptible to respiratory issues.

I'd recommend you call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com at your earliest convenience to schedule a professional inspection. A certified expert can pinpoint the source of moisture and assess any mold growth that may have occurred due to the recent rain. Early detection is key in mitigating health risks associated with mold.

While waiting for an inspection, you can take some steps yourself to reduce humidity levels:

1. Ensure proper ventilation: Open windows when weather permits, use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and consider a dehumidifier.
2. Address water leaks promptly: Check for any signs of water damage or leakage around pipes, gutters, or HVAC systems.
3. Clean regularly: Dust and vacuum to minimize the spread of dust mites which can exacerbate respiratory issues.

Remember, while airing out your space may help temporarily, it won't address underlying moisture issues that could be causing the musty smell. Professional intervention is essential for a thorough evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your home’s specific needs.

Stay proactive about your indoor air quality and health.
